It'is to be understood that the particulars herein given-are in no way limitive, and that while still'keeping within the scope of the in vention, any desired modification of details and proportions may be made in the construe tion of the appliance according to circumstances.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts to be hereinafter set forth shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1- is a view illustrating the toilet seat cover constructed in accordance with the invention. r i

Figure 2- isa sectional View throughthe same, showing how the cover folds over the attaching means.

Figure 3 is a sectional view through the folded over part of the cover, where it slidably receives the attaching means.

The cover is provided with an'opening 2 corresponding to the shape of an opening in a toilet seat, but of slightly less size in order that the marginal edge on the opening in the cover may overlap the marginal edge of the opening int-he toilet seat, thereby insuring against contact with the toilet seat.

The cover though made of paper of a crepe character is designed to be of sufficient thickness to avoid tears and yet at the same time to prevent moisture passing through the cover, dampening it and eventually rupturing the cover and preventing it from tearing through. The cover is folded at 3, and in the fold there 1528. Serial NO. 269 740.

is positioned a covered wire l, capable of remaining in the fold, the ends 5 of the wire being curved to engage under the seat or behind the hinged seat cover, thereby holding the temporary cover in position.

The wire in the fold is pliable or flexible and may be bent under the seat or in engagement with the hinge or behind the lid to the seat or any part of the hinge is fastened in any suitable manner so as to hold the cover in position. The pliability permits the wire to be adjusted 0r fitted in any manner suitable to holding the cover in position temporarily. The fold of the cover is secured in position by adhesive mat rial, and the wire 4 is formed with a loop l, which is located in the fold of the cover, preventing the wire from rotatin the fold, as well as preventing the wire from moving longitudinally through the fold. The wire is covered with an insulation to prevent itfrom scarring the seat or the cover or any part with which it might be engaged.
